Wednesday Walk - Glorious Beach Day

It's Wednesday, and that can only mean one thing! #wednesdaywalk ! Such a simple initiative, but it shows us all four corners of the world, from Jay in Massachusetts to me in Cape Town!

We are in full blown summer down here, and wow, has it been hot! This weekend the temperature reached 35 degrees Celcius, that is 95'F for all you northerners. That's hot! (as Paris would say)

I worked this weekend at the antique shop and when the weather is this perfect, most people head for the water. So the store was very quiet, and I was very bored. I spent most of the day updating the website

So. itching (and sweating) to do something to cool down, I drove out to Sunset Beach out on the West Coast. My fave beach, not crowded, and I was the skinniest person there - LOL!! And TLDR - I am not skinny haha.

It's one of the most beautiful views, across the bay is our iconic Table Mountain. It is just so stunning to see. The waves are usually pretty tame, so it's perfect for swimming

I was there pretty late, when it's this hot you don't want to go too early or else you will become a crisp. I took these photos around 6- 7pm - can you believe it! Perfect sundowner time.

My before and after! The water is pretty freezing, it is the Atlantic, but up the West Coast it is a little warmer than in the city - it is so cold in that water that you freeze your bones.

    You know I never make it out to the Northern beaches much.... And you're right it's so beautiful out there. There are 72 beaches in Cape Town, it might be time to start a beach challange if sorts 🌈🍃🪁☀️ I believe the temperature topped out at 38 degrees in the city on Saturday 😳

    Wow, that is very hot! Too bad the water is so crazy cold. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to jump in and swim to cool off?

    I grew up on the northwest coast of the U.S. (Pacific Ocean) and one did not go in that water without a wetsuit.

    35C/95F that is a hot one but I would take it at the moment here yesterdays high was 14F which is about -10C, today it will warm up a little getting to 40F about 4C and going in the evening when its not so hot makes a lot of sense to me and what a beautiful spot to go and cool down

    Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

    Aha! So you came to my neighborhood for a walk did you?

    Yeah we would also be down at the beach often but @clairemobey has her knee in a hinged brace so that will have to wait!

    She has gotten a lot better though and we should probably go down there with the kids while the summer is still there!
